The two battalions sent by Zhao Xin did not retreat after repelling the Russian reinforcements from the direction of Emulkalun. After leaving one battalion to garrison the south bank, the other battalion crossed the river by boat and stayed at
The river beach area is six kilometers southeast of Yaksa.
The Russian reconnaissance team soon discovered the movements of the Northern Navy, and they sent out hunters and cavalry that night to try to drive them away. The Northern Navy relied on the heavy machine guns on patrol boats and a simple circular defense position to effectively resist the Russian army.
The harassment lasted all night, and they firmly guarded the north bank of Heilongjiang.
At 6 o'clock in the morning on August 23, most of the Northern Navy troops staying in Duojincheng boarded the ship and headed west. At 8 o'clock in the morning, they arrived at the landing site opened on the north bank of Heilongjiang the day before. After that, the large group of troops headed north all the way, one kilometer away from the river bank.
Camp on the plains.
At the same time, a reconnaissance team belonging to the Northern Navy Artillery met up with the battalion stationed on the south bank, and then, led by the guide Zamusu, followed the winding Nangai Valley into the Greater Khingan Range. Their mission was crucial, reconnaissance
The team will find and set up artillery observation points near the slopes southeast of Emulkaron. Once the observation points are set up, both the ancient city island and Yaksa will be covered by the artillery fire of the Northern Navy.
From August 23 to August 25, in addition to blocking the Russian troops sent by Yaksa, the Northern Navy was busy building positions, clearing shrubs and grass, opening roads to the river, and digging toilets in the downwind.
....
In a battle, especially a field battle, logistical supplies are far more important than advanced weapons and the bravery of soldiers. It was precisely because of this when Liu Sheng attacked Ninggu Pagoda that he chose to fight fiercely and quickly resolve the battle.
Take the simplest chestnut and drink water.
The normal amount of water consumed by an adult man weighing 70 kilograms is 3000 ml per day. If it is heavy manual labor or physical exertion is very intense, then the amount must be increased by 1000 ml, which is 4,000 ml.
In this era, regardless of Asia or Europe, when fighting, you need to set up camp before sending people to fetch water. In addition, civilians must be arranged to chop wood, boil water, and help with cooking. If a thousand soldiers want to fight over a long distance, they must
It is necessary to have a civilian team of one thousand to two thousand people. Otherwise, the soldiers will have nothing to do every day, and they will waste half of their time just chopping wood, boiling water and cooking. If the water source is contaminated, it will be even more troublesome.
One kilometer south of the North Navy Camp is Heilongjiang, and there are some puddles and small lakes to the north. Fortunately, there are many water sources in this area, and even if the Russian army wants to use dead horses and cattle to pollute it, it will be unable to do so. Besides, keep it for meat.
How fragrant!
It is said that the use of water purification tablets in the wild is temporary and short-term. First, there is a peculiar smell and color, second, it is easy to cause iodine allergy, and third, Cryptosporidium parvum in the water cannot be removed, and it must be boiled before drinking.
But now that Zhao Xin is a "mobile warehouse", everything is much easier to handle. This is him. Liu Sheng and the others would not be able to do it at all. Just a road problem can stump them.
Ten water purification trucks with a water storage capacity of 6,000 liters can meet the daily drinking water needs of 10,000 people through one-stage reverse osmosis. At the same time, each vehicle also comes with two independent power supply systems of 8KW diesel generators to provide
Water purification equipment and heating equipment provide sufficient electricity.
In addition, there are more than a dozen outdoor cooking trucks, including a cooking truck that can cater for 300 people at a time and a special staple food truck that can provide staple food for 600 people at a time.
"Lao Hu, what are you having for lunch today?"
"Noodles, canned pork braised, mouth full of oil."
Li Yansheng's mouth watered after hearing what the cook said. Since he and other border residents who followed him saw various logistics vehicles of the Northern Navy at the Humar River, it took a while to gradually adapt and accept them.
The funniest thing I did before this time was to call a group of Daur people to cut a lot of grass, saying that it was for these white and dark green square animals to eat, which made the cooks of the security company and the logistics team laugh.
It took him several days.
From August 25, as the Northern Navy's position facilities became more and more complete, the Russian army's small-scale harassment could no longer be gained, so Suvorov stopped this behavior.
In fact, the Russian army's defense facilities on the front line of Yaksa City are very complete, with complete fortifications built on the three trench positions. However, the terrain where the Northern Navy is located is not good. But what Zhao Xin and the others need to do now is to pass through the other side of the river.
A battalion was deployed to continuously harass and attack the enemy troops in Emulkaron, attracting the enemy's attention and providing ample time for the artillery reconnaissance team to find suitable observation points.
As usual, after the Northern Navy's antennas were set up, several drones began to fly quickly over Yaksa, Ancient City Island and the mouth of the Emur River. The daily buzzing made the Russian army upset. Here we are.
The next day, even Suvorov himself was alerted and led a group of officers from the staff to the outside of the second trench.
"The general is here! Everyone, stand at attention!" Following the commander's order, all the soldiers on the defense line held their breath and stared at Suvorov and his party riding on the horse. At this time, everyone noticed
The general wore only a soldier's woolen coat today and was riding on a horse. He wore a George Cross with an orange and black ribbon on his chest.
Suvorov took the telescope and looked in the direction pointed by his subordinates. He saw a small dot approaching in the sky a mile away. When the small dot became larger and larger in the field of view of the telescope, the general
Only then did you notice the strange shape and color, as well as the black square box hanging below.
"Hey, gentlemen, can anyone tell me what this is?"
No one answered because this was beyond the understanding of everyone present.
A corporal suddenly shouted: "General, this is a devil, a monster!"
The group leader became a little angry and cursed: "Shut up! You idiot, I want you to be hung up and whipped!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this time, a second lieutenant said very calmly: "No, I think this is an observation machine invented by the Qing people."
"Oh?" Suvorov took a step forward and asked: "Mr. Second Lieutenant, is this true?"
The second lieutenant thought for a while and replied: "First, I am just a second lieutenant, and this is just my speculation. Second, general, I personally never believe that there are any monsters in this world. Even if there are, under your leadership, we
It can also be destroyed.”
"Mr. Captain," the admiral on horseback bowed slightly and said, "You are welcome to come to my place for dinner today, and I will treat you to lunch tomorrow."
When everyone present heard this, they looked at the second lieutenant with envy and jealousy. He was promoted to two levels within a few minutes. Such a good thing was missed in vain.
Later, Suvorov raised another question: "Who can knock it down?"
The regiment leader stood at attention and said: "Admiral, we shot it with a musket yesterday, and that thing flew too high."
The newly promoted captain replied: "Perhaps we can use a cannon to raise the muzzle. I have carefully observed that the height of the thing should not exceed 200 meters."
"Very good! Let's do it." Suvorov nodded with satisfaction and continued to talk to the people around him: "What is observation? This is observation! A quick visual inspection to roughly determine the number and size of objects.
We have seen everything about the enemy clearly, so congratulate yourself, we have won the victory!"
Before dark, the four 8-pounder artillery groups, led by the captain who had been promoted exceptionally, were dragged and gathered behind a parapet, and the muzzles were raised to 60 degrees, preparing to launch operations during the day the next day.
sneak attack.
The problem is that the Russian army thought they were doing it undetected, but the drone easily discovered this artillery position during night reconnaissance. The staff officers of the North Navy, who were already familiar with the types of Russian artillery,
At a glance, he recognized the four 8-pound cannons on the screen with their muzzles raised high.
In the evening, Fan Tong, who had gone out to get up for the night, came back and saw Zhao Xin standing in front of the tent, looking into the distance. He hesitated for a moment, and then walked over.
"Can't sleep?" Fan Tong asked.
"Yeah, I'm thinking about how to keep this land in the future."
"Are you so confident that you can win a battle?"
"Have you ever seen me do anything you're not sure about after being here for so long?" Zhao Xin answered absentmindedly. "The key to this battle is to compete with the Russians in terms of speed," he said again: "In this way we can quickly
Take Irkutsk.”
"So, if the queen sends someone to negotiate, what conditions will you give?"
"The Yenisey River must be used as the dividing line." Zhao Xin explained: "In fact, whether it is the current water transportation or the future Siberian Railway, Irkutsk is a point that cannot be bypassed.
"
Fan Tong said in surprise: "What do you mean, are you planning to build the railway?"
Zhao Xin nodded firmly and said: "Yes, yes. It will definitely not work if we don't build the railway. Whether it is population or materials, if we only rely on rivers, we can only use it for five months a year."
Fan Tong said with a smile: "I remember it was said in the textbook that wherever the railways controlled by the imperialists are built, their claws of aggression will be extended."
Zhao Xin smiled and said: "There is something wrong with what you said. Are we imperialists? If they don't invade, I can at most maintain the original territory."
Fan Tong suddenly remembered something and asked: "Hey? Who is in the hands of Li Bai's hometown, Suiye City now?"
Zhao Xindao: "The Manchu and Qing Dynasties. From this point of view, the three generations of Kangxi, Yongzong and Qianlong did well, but it is a pity that future generations will not live up to the expectations."
"I didn't know before. After almost a year here, many things have subverted my previous understanding." Fan Tong sighed, and out of compassion, he decided to ask one last question before going to bed. "Can we kill less prisoners this time? After all, we
They are all educated modern people, and killing too many people is always bad."
"Xiao Fan, you have to understand that this is an age of iron and fire. Sympathy for the invaders will only make them think that we are weak and can be bullied. I think those practices of being lenient to the invaders are really disgusting.
One must be killed to serve as a warning to others, and the rest must go dig coal and build roads to atone for their sins.”
Zhao Xin continued: "Don't talk about humanitarianism. War is not a treat for dinner, not a child's play after dinner, but the ugliest thing. If you dare to provoke a war, you will have to bear the consequences of failure. Isn't it just that tens of thousands of people get together?
In order to massacre each other, thousands of people were killed or maimed, and the more people were killed, the greater the credit..."
"Stop, stop, I'm just asking. If you say that, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight." As the light and shadow of the campfire danced, Fan Tong couldn't tell whether the expression on Zhao Xin's face was ferocious or calm.
"Well, after fighting so many battles, apart from being a little excited at the beginning, everything became a responsibility later on." Zhao Xin patted Fan Tong on the shoulder and said, "It's time to rest, and it's time for me to sleep."
Fan Tong returned to the tent, lying on the bedding and tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. When he closed his eyes and snored, there seemed to be a blonde girl waving to him in his dream...
On August 26, the North Korean Navy's artillery position consisting of five D30 long-range artillery pieces was finally laid out, and the defensive positions built around the artillery position were basically completed.
Zhao Xin immediately ordered the troops on the south bank of Heilongjiang to cross Paiwo Island and advance towards Emulkaron to attract the attention of the Russian army; at the same time, various units of the Northern Navy gradually entered the offensive starting positions west of the camp.
Suvorov on his side ordered two cavalry regiments to move north of Yaksa City, with the purpose of returning to the Northern Navy's position through the woods. Although he currently has a large number of troops, there are also many points that need to be defended, so he did not
If you do not launch an attack first, you will issue orders at any time depending on the enemy's actions.
For the eighteen thousand men of the Russian army, the magical name of Suvorov alone made everyone very popular.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "As long as the general is here, one person can support a hundred thousand people!"
Before the battle began, Admiral Suvorov tried his last resort. On August 26, he sent an envoy to deliver a letter of persuasion to surrender to the forward positions of the Northern Navy. At this time, the European rules of engagement were that the envoy could see
The commander-in-chief of the other side, but the Northern Navy obviously did not want to respect this. They just asked the Russian envoy to stay 200 meters away from the front of the position.
After receiving the letter, Zhao Xin thought it was really funny. The invaders actually persuaded the people defending their homeland to give up resistance and surrender. What kind of logic is this?
Afterwards, he wrote back a letter to Suvorov, which contained only one sentence: "Get out of Yaksa!"
Of course Zhao Xin wanted to write more and damage the other party through words, but his Russian skills were limited, so he racked his brains and compiled it for a long time, but the result was a waste of paper.
After reading this reply letter without a wax seal, the envoy sent by Suvorov told the officers of the Northern Navy: "The Amur River can stop flowing, the sky can collapse, and the Yaksa Fortress will never surrender."
When the envoy returned to report, Suvorov made the last pre-war mobilization: "A hundred years ago, we came to Yaksa twice and evacuated humiliatingly twice, and even signed an unequal treaty.
Now is the third time, we have no choice! Either hold here or die here. It is true that the enemy's weapons are very advanced and our difficulties are great. But as Russian soldiers, we should not surrender in the face of any force! Yaksa Fortress
It is very strong. Our strength is twice that of the opponent, and our army is equally powerful. I have been in the army for decades, and I have never retreated in front of any force. If we can repel the enemy in front of us, the entire Heilongjiang Basin will return.
To the embrace of the Empire! God’s glory will shine on this wild land forever!”
At the same time, Zhao Xin also made his first pre-war mobilization in history to the Jiuqianbei Navy through loudspeakers and radio stations set up in various positions. He said these words to all soldiers and officers, and also
Tell it to yourself.
"Before going to war this time, someone asked me, why did I leave the great mountains and rivers in the pass and go thousands of miles north to help the Qing Dynasty defend the country? Why not occupy the colorful world in the south, but let the ragged roads be here?
How many years of struggle? Brothers! Not to mention the distance, the Han people had already come to this land 375 years ago and carved inscriptions on the stones. This is evidenced by the Yongning Monument on the Trilin Stone Rock.
Covered by the sky, carried by the earth, illuminated by the sun and moon, covered by frost and dew, white mountains and black waters, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. If we don’t defend this land, in a hundred years we will lose it forever! If we don’t come and fight today
, whether they are Han, Manchu, Hezhe, Feyaka, or even Sauron tribes, they will all become slaves under the guns of foreigners, and they will face the massacre of foreign invaders!
To hell with those bullshit Western civilizations! If we are rich, they will sell poisons and torture the people; if we are poor, they will ask us to cede land and pay compensation, calling it a 'concession'. They are so greedy for the land that even thousands of miles of white mountains and black waters can't fill it.
To satisfy their greed. They destroyed, massacred, and stole under the euphemistic name of "bringing civilization." They killed, set fire to, raped and looted wherever they went. They plundered the things left by our ancestors and turned them into their collections. In the end, they still want us.
Buy it back with your own money!
Opposite us are a group of foreign bandits who will never be satisfied with the land. This battle is not the end. After this battle, we will go all the way west and bring the war to the invaders' homeland.
Let those bullshit pities go to hell! Brothers, kill them, eliminate every armed invader, turn their bodies into fertilizer for this land, let us use victory after victory to declare to the world, no one can
